Frequently Asked QuestionsHummus is made with healthy ingredients, including chickpeas, tahini, oil and salt.Chickpeas are a type of legumeand provide carbohydrates, protein, fiber and vitamins and minerals, including folate and iron. Made from sesame seeds,tahini is full of healthy fatand a little plant protein. The fiber in hummus can help keep you full and satisfied, especially when paired with whole-grain crackers, whole-grain pita chips or vegetables.Both breads contain the whole grain kernel, which provides a wealth of nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Whole-wheat bread is made with the entire wheat kernel—but just wheat, no other types of grains. Whole-grain bread is made with more than one whole grain and often includes seeds (and sometimes nuts). While recipes vary, whole-grain bread might include whole wheat, whole rye, rolled oats and flaxseed.Yes, but to avoid a soggy sandwich, we would prep the ingredients and refrigerate them in airtight containers until you’re ready to assemble. If you want to take a sandwich to work or on a picnic, and you’ve got a cooler on hand, it might be better to pack the ingredients separately and put everything together on the spot.Absolutely. You can swap out this tangy, salty, creamy sheep’s-milk cheese for a number of different cheeses—the sandwich won’t taste the same and the texture might be a little different, but it should be just as delicious. Plus, if you have leftovers of any of these cheeses, they’re perfect for adding to salads. You can try a vegan feta cheese, which comes in soy-based, almond or hemp. If vegan cheese isn’t what you’re looking for, and you want a tangy flavor, try goat cheese. You could also try halloumi, which is slightly firmer and more savory than tangy. We’d also recommend ricotta salata or panela, which are on the mild side.
